I also have a dysfunctional family that does the same kind of stuff to me. They say BP isn't real and I'm just a drama queen, they gossip beind my back and cut me off from other family by what they say abt me. Since I'm new my posts are moderated but I wrote a thread about something very similar that should be up soon.

My tdoc told me to consider whether the price of dealing with them is worth payments I always have to make because it always hurts my mental state. I am trying hard to pull away but it's a drag not to have family, especially when you don't have good friends to help you through stuff.

Eventually they will start saying stuff to your son like they did to mine. You don't need that. Son and I went through some tough times because of their meddling. That hurt the worst.

I know it's very hard, but protect yourself and your boy's feelings from them. No good can come from dealing with them. As my tdoc says, we can't change other people, only ourselves and our actions.
